Yakima River Fly Fishing Report – 5/8/11

Carl and Adam came out to fish with me today and yesterday. We spent both days in the upper river. We didn’t catch a lot of trout, but all the ones that came to the net were over 13″. The March Brown hatch was on time at 1:00 and lasted a few hours. We found some risers in the tail end of the hatch. Stone flies are moving and the trout are keying in on them. We did find a few adult salmon flies on Saturday, but no fish up to the big dry. Flies: #12-14 Pheasant Tail, #12-16 Prince, #12-16 Soft Hackle PT, #4-10 Pat’s Stone Fly (black, brown, orange & brown, tan & brown), #12-10 San Juan Worm (pink, red, orange)
